Translation of the song lyrics Oni - Đorđe Balašević

Oni (original)

Oni su dojahali tačno u podne
Vozilom strane proizvodnje
Šofer bi dig’o pare za svoje memoare
Ali Žan je lojalan
Oni su prošli firmom da se sve praši
Pa napred, naši gubitaši
Uz rabljene citate i priče koje znate
'ajde, slabe vajde za sve nas
Gde to, kume, dižu bune navodne?
Šta to viču, žalosne im majke?
Da bi čuli prave reči narodne
Drugovi su krenuli u hajke na izvesne pjevaljke…
Za našu stvar će oni i u izgnanstvo
Mandat u pusto inostranstvo
Rođenu decu, tate, u mračne konzulate
Uf, al' je ovo surovo…
Oni će smelo poći u šumu crnu
Sami na krvoločnu srnu
I posle kraće bitke, čim prebroje gubitke:
Pili, jeli — živeli…
Baza hoda oko našeg zavoda
Nek im neko kaže dve-tri bajke…
Da bi čuli prave reči narodne
Drugovi su krenuli u hajke na tiražne pjevaljke…
Obori!
…
I opet…

Oni (translation)

They arrived at noon
Foreign-made vehicle
The driver would raise money for his memoirs
But Jean is loyal
They went through the company to dust everything off
Come on, our losers
With used quotes and stories you know
Come on, it's bad for all of us
Where are they, godfathers, raising alleged rebellions?
What are they shouting about, their sad mothers?
To hear the true words of the people
Comrades went on a hunt for certain singers…
For our cause, they will also go into exile
Mandate abroad
Born children, dads, to dark consulates
Ugh, but this is cruel…
They will boldly go to the black forest
Alone on a bloodthirsty deer
And after a short battle, as soon as they count the losses:
Drank, ate - lived…
The base walks around our institute
Someone tell them two or three fairy tales…
To hear the true words of the people
Comrades went on a hunt for circulation singers…
Take it down!
…
And again…
